The ISP is among 90 law enforcement agencies from across the United States that have been asked to assist the U.S. Secret Service and the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department with security during the Presidential Inauguration scheduled for Monday, January 21. The officers from the various agencies assisting with the detail will be deputized as Deputy U.S. Marshals during the inaugural events.
